Three Generations of fun!
I purchased this item for my granddaughter and was delighted that I could find the loom in medal. Most of them I have seen advertised are plastic. I had one as a child, got them for my daughters and now my granddaughter. One of those items that never get old!

Wonderful afternoon
All the stores are carrying the plastic looms this year, but I got to spend an afternoon with our six year old grand-daughter making a potholder, on a loom just like I once had. What a great memory, and now I even have a colorful souvenir.

Reliving memories
I purchased this metal loom and loops when visiting The Vermont Country Store about a year ago. I absolutely love the quality of both. The loops occasionally have a stray thread, however that does not make the potholder any less sturdy or beautiful. It can just be clipped off. The cotton loops make wonderful thick potholders and the colors are vibrant. I pull this project out every so often, I have refilled my stock of loops, and love reliving the memory of making these old fashioned potholders. I use them everyday!

hard to find metal loom
i'd been looking for a metal loom for my little granddaughter. i know she would love making potholders just like i did years ago. however, the only looms i've been able to find are made of plastic and they break almost immediately. we have not tried this one yet, but it looks plenty sturdy and like it is made well. i really thought i was not going to find a metal one, so i was very happy to have found this one. vermont country store has many quality products and i'm glad to have come across their site.

potholder loom/loops
I ordered the potholder loom and loops for my granddaugher for Christmas. I wish the potholder loom had higher posts to keep the loops on easier. I was very disappointed with the quality of the loops. Before I even got the loops out of the package they were raveling. I don't think they are going to hold up at all.

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Traditional Potholder Loom and Loops …

"This toy is fabulous! When I was a little girl, my dad passed away when I was five years old. My mother, Ruby, was the Head Instructor of Springfield Beauty Academy, and I had to "hang out" at the salon after school and on Saturday. I would weave potholders and sell them to the ladies under the dryer or getting their manicures, for 25 cents each. I even wove custom colors to match their kitchen decor. One Saturday I made $17.00! The supplies were much cheaper then -- bags of loops were 25 cents each and huge, so I made quite a profit! That was 45 years ago, and I've been in retail ever since! I'm getting these for my granddaughters for Christmas so they can learn, too, and I can go back to my childhood memories! I stumbled across your site but will pass it on! Thank you for giving me this opportunity to share "a blast from my past" with my grandchildren! I look forward to your catalogs. Terrigail Moore-Hastings" - Terrigail Hastings, Springfield, MO

"Thanks for finding these. Using them to make potholders with my grandmother while my mother was in the hospital is a warm, cherished memory. When Mom came home, I gave her three new potholders as a gift, and she gave me one, too -- a new baby sister!" - Linda Maloy, Birmingham, AL

"I, too, made these as a child. I made a special one for my grandmother - with the prettiest loops in the bag. She thought it too pretty to use - I still have this potholder as a memory of her! Vermont Country Store - thank you from all of us who cherish the memories your store and catalog invoke!" - Delores Belvin, Elizabeth City, NC
